Perennial Ryegrass Allergy Care in San Tan, Arizona
Spring brings blooming flowers—but for some, it also brings itchy eyes, runny noses, and sneezing from perennial ryegrass allergy.
What You Should Know
Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) is common in lawns and peaks in pollen season from April to June, especially in May. Symptoms include:
